I got to clarify that Oivind has been a good friend and a very enthusiastic supporter along the way. I am grateful, but I am not entirely comfortable being in a spot light. I am glad many like my work. That gives me plenty of satisfaction.

Oivind, in addition to the great stable of knives you already have, I know you have at least a few even more beauties on the way. I think it's time to step up your photography game to do these things some justice!

Im getting my hands on a D300 in just 3 weeks
Gonna take some pics then. However Darkhoek and I gonna have a huge test on different knives when I have em all. He got a blog:http://***********************/

Anyway: Marko WILL post some pics of the knives Ive ordered from him soon. I know my Shigefusa Yanagiba is under production

If you are ever looking for a nice point-and-shoot, ive been loving my Canon S95. The old model is the S90 and is nearly identical and can be found for about $300, the s95 usually goes for $400 or so. great lens, and you can have lots of control in manual, or let it do the work in auto.

There is a new international law that all koa needs to be sent back to Hawaii, so please send that knife & saya to me asap! Really great work. I gotta use more unstabilized koa, I fully agree: Some pieces benefit from stabilizing it, most lose their warmth, and if the wood is seasoned enough, there is no real need for stabilizing it.
